a visual collective outlet of inspiration
i remember mike from his quote, “if a bear shits in the forest will anyone hear it?” …or something to that extent. he taught at my school, i remember him with his long hair and guitar. i was never a huge fan of his knitted stuffed dolls or object works, but i loved his sense of humor. it’s sad to hear he’s no longer with us, and that he took his own life. lee ranaldo and the sonic youth crew will surely miss him too. here’s what our friend lee had to say about him on his blog. RIP. by uh

wim wenders – pina
so after waiting for almost a year, pina, wim wenders homage movie to pina bausch is on screen in nyc at ifc… and that was worth the wait. i remember this interview of him saying that seeing a pina bausch show was a life changing experience and after viewing the movie i’m sure it’s not quite far from it. on top of that, i was a bit skeptical about the 3d thing but i have to say that it really topped the cake. a must see. check the trailer here. by pp.

well as if we didn’t already know how much curriculum in high school and junior high schools has changed, take a gander at this incredible pamphlet from janus films. this was handed out to teens around the time chris marker released the film to coincide with the film being shown in class. clearly, i studied under the wrong individuals throughout my adolescence. i think david bowie and terry gilliam would both be proud. anyway, this film was and still is extraordinary and fundamental to any cinephile’s consciousness. by sv
